Holiday Mani-Fest: Color Club Covered in Diamonds

Color Club Covered in Diamonds is not, strictly speaking, a holiday polish. OK, so it’s not from any holiday collection at all, and it’s not particularly new. But look how festive!

Covered in Diamonds is from last year’s Untamed Luxury collection. You can find it online at TransDesign, or if you’re an Anchorage resident, you can pick it up for eight bucks at L.A. Style. (But again, don’t buy the new China Glaze or OPI polishes there. There’s no reason to pay $13 for a nail polish. There is still lots of OPI Muppets and China Glaze Let It Snow and Metro in stock at Marie’s.)

I love flakies. And I don’t see many of them here in Anchorage. I almost died of shock when I found the last (and possibly only) bottle of Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure at Fred Meyer last year. The flakes in Covered in Diamonds are much bigger than the flakes in Hidden Treasure, and they require some careful placement with the brush. But they look amazing on.

Ooo, pretty:

Of course, this polish packs much more punch when layered over a dark base coat. I like it with Essie Bobbing For Baubles.
